HQ stations in IARU HF Contest

[frenaye at pcnet.com]

Don't forget the 10th IARU HF Champtionship this weekend (12Z Saturday until 
12Z on Sunday).  Activity is usually quite good, especially in Europe and 
the old USSR.  Complete rules are in April QST, page 110.  The exchange is 
signal report and ITU Zone.  IARU HQ stations will send their IARU 
member-society abbreviation (like ARRL JARL RSGB, etc).

In the USA and Canada your ITU Zone is:

W1-W2-W3-W4-W8-W9	8
W5-W0			7  (except Mississippi is zone 8)
W6-W7			6  (except Montana and Wyoming are zone 7)
KH6		       61
KL7			1  (some is in zone 2)
KP2-KP4		       11	
VE1-VE9-VO1-VO2-VY2	9
VE2-VE3			4  (some VE2 is zone 9)
VE4-VE5-VE8		3  (some VE8 is also zone 2, 4, and 75) 
VE6-VE7-VY1		2

I hear the DA0HQ crew is out to revenge their narrow defeat to the HG95HQ 
team during the last four years.  S50HQ will be active this year also.  (see 
notes below on W1AW!)

Here's a list of HQ stations that submitted logs in the IARU HF Championship 
during 1994 and 1993.  Remember that the multiplier is ITU Zones plus HQ 
stations per band.  

HQ stations (25) submitting logs during the last two years (19 in Europe)

ARRL will be on using W1AW again this year, hoping to be more competitive 
with the other HQ stations than in past years.  

(blatent commercial follows) 

Work us on both CW and SSB on 160 through 10 meters (12 times...).  We'd be 
happy to pass you from band to band, or to the other mode.  If you catch us 
on at least five band/modes you'll be on our favorite contester list.  We may 
even come up with something special for those making a QSO on more than five 
band/modes!  

And, W1AW counts as a multiplier for you on each band from 160 to 10.

Food for thought:

Now that Dayton is moving into May, why not move wpx cw up to the last
weekend of April?
